Yea. Her father said he doesn't know where she is and the last time he saw her was by chance in traffic. She was a passenger in a car and he walked over and asked how she was and she said fine and the car drove off.
There is no outcry witness in this case.
I agree that it would be harder for Nifong to go forward without Mangum's testimony in this case. I was only showing you were wrong when you guessed that there had never been a rape case prosecuted when the victim did not testify. In the age of DNA this might be more likely to happen.
I imagine there are a number of cases of raped mentally challenged people that have gone forward on the basis of DNA evidence and not victim testimony. The DNA might often be from the offspring from the rape, but I bet there are a number of such cases.
Who said I believed him? But I sincerely doubt he ever directly told her anything.
He doesn't have any DNA matches either.
You are of course wrong again. Nifong most certainly does have DNA matches in this case.
I am getting tired of this nonsense. DNA matches? I am talking about DNA found in the woman. WTF are you talking about?
He is not prosecuting the donor of the DNA found in her, is he? So, again, WTF are you talking about?
I don't think he has any DNA matches that help his case.
Dave's match on a towel doesn't surprise me - he lives there. And the partial match on a fingernail doesn't advance things either. His lawyers said he handled it and it was in his trash can with his dental floss etc.
The only DNA from Precious that I'm aware of is from her boyfriend.
He has Matt Z.'s DNA on the floor of a bathroom but he has cleared Matt Z.
I think the DNA is exculpatory for the players.
I am trying to correct some of your mistakes on this thread. It is apparently a full time job, I dont have time for.
1. First you say that you do not believe that a rape case has ever beeen brought when the rape victim did not testify. I mention one locally. I then pointed out an entire class of such cases I suspect are out there.
2. You respond with a false of topic statement about DNA in this case. I point out the obvious that you were wrong again.
3. You respond with another of topic statement about what Nifong is doing in this case.
You style of discussion is know as bait and switch. I don't really understand, why you just could not say, you are right there are rape cases without a complaining witness.
The DNA in this case is not exculpatory. It is neither incriminating to the people charged But it had nothing to do with the other discussion I was having which I guess is why it was introduced.
The legal definition of exculpatory is clearing or tending to clear from alleged fault or guilt.
The accuser in this case alleges a three person gang rape where no one wore a condom and at least two of the perpetrators ejaculated. And yet no DNA from any of the three charged lacrosse players was found on her or in her. Only her boyfriend's DNA was found. To me, this tends to clear them from alleged fault or guilt. I think it strains credulity to think that this kind of violent attack could take place under these circumstances and somehow there is not a trace of any of these guys anywhere on the accuser. They would have to be very immaculate rapists.
Hooking isn't paying much in Durham these days.

It appears law enforcement in Durham isn't paying enough either...........

I've told many people how this has ruined the lives of those kids and a few people have scoffed, which surprised me. I get furious thinking about this hooker and have avoided these threads recently because my fury is so intense.
Where is Elliot Ness when you need him? Remember this exchange?
"This woman has destroyed everything I've worked for in my life for a lie,"
My son's words exactly.
